Free-living Amoebae (FLA): morphological and molecular identification of Acanthamoeba in dental unit water

The aim of our study was to detect free-living Amoebae (FLA) by morphological methods and to identify Acanthamoeba spp. by PCR in the dental unit water lines (DUWL). Materials and methods: it was a prospective study dealing with 196 water samples collected from DUWL (94 samples taken in the early mo...
